First, I got out of bed. My mom brought up muffins and donuts for me, my sister Jess, and my cousin Nicole to eat while we got ready. I was so nervous, I scarfed my donut down like a squirrel! Time was moving very quickly. "Knock, Knock!" I walked over to the door and saw it was the hair and makeup girls, right on schedule!

Next, I got my hair and makeup done with my bridal party! The hair stylist curled my hair and put flowers in the back. I felt like Elsa from Frozen! After that, I sat in the makeup chair. My body was relaxed as she brushed on my makeup, but my mind felt like a circus! Everything was happening at lightning speed.

Then, it was time to get dressed. I walked over to my dress hanging on the wall and stared at it for a couple seconds. This time glancing at it, I felt a flutter of nerves. "So many people would be staring at me in this dress!" I thought to myself. My sister helped me step into it and then button up the back. Soon enough it was time to go downstairs.

Last, we all headed down to the courtyard to do a first look with my husband and dad, and then get lined up for the ceremony. Both of them teared up as soon as they saw me in my dress. I knew the last people to see it were right around the corner. The coordinator helped us line up in order, and then... we were off down the aisle. I will never forget that magical day.
